	While recovering from his injuries in the summer of 1972, FZ wrote a musical science-fiction script for a two-act Broadway stage production. FZ designed the costumes, stage instructions and the musical score for "[[Hunchentoot]]", which would require a 42-member cast (musicians included). The main character in ''Hunchentoot'' is Drakma (Queen of Cosmic Greed), an alien that wants to invade Earth. Other characters were the title character (The Giant Spider), Durk, six Forceling players, a 22-piece orchestra and a 10-voice chorus. ''Hunchentoot'' was never staged. However near the end of the life Zappa tried to find a director to film it. He approached [[Terry Gilliam]] and the crew of [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]], but eventually nothing came of it.<ref>http://asitecalledfred.com/2007/07/18/interview-kevin-murphy/</ref>		While recovering from his injuries in the summer of 1972, FZ wrote a musical science-fiction script for a two-act Broadway stage production.

	HUNCHENTOOT gestures to BARNEY'S NEIGHBORS, urging them to make a purchase from the 10-foot replica prophylactic vending machine which has just been lowered in from NOWHERE, puncturing the bloated FRUNOBULAX. His first customer is little JIMMY. DRAKMA sprawls lewdly across the SOFA, while HUNCHENTOOT throws a switch, illuminating a spectacular neon sign (also from NOWHERE) which reads: "FUCK GREED!" Little JIMMY is the first to try. He hands HUNCHENTOOT a bag of blow, gives him ‘five', climbs aboard the Space-Whore, and humps her frantically, with his sores running and his Bozo hair tossing in SLOW MOTION like a shampoo commercial. The BAGGED NEIGHBORS wait in line, ready to take their turn. Almost unnoticed, cash in hand, is the ALIEN. CUT TO: E.C.U. HUNCHENTOOT, doing JIMMY'S blow, with wads of hideous dime-store Rainbow-Afro CLOWN NAP poofing out all over him.
